History

Dickens Hall, built in 1908, originally served as home for the Departments of Horticulture, Botany and Plant Pathology. Greenhouses formerly located north of Dickens were demolished in the 1980s to make room for the Chemistry/Biochemistry Building. Dickens Hall is named for Albert Dickens, who worked in the Department of Horticulture from 1899 to 1930.
